*Mariah Carey has become the first artist to hit No. 1 on the Billboard chart in four separate decades.

As noted by PEOPLE, Carey “logged 14 songs at No. 1 in the ’90s, followed by four in the 2000s. “All I Want for Christmas Is You” was her only No. 1 single of the ’10s and the first No. 1 single of the ’20s decade so far,” the publication writes. 

Originally released in 1994, “All I Want for Christmas Is You” became Carey’s 19th overall No. 1 hit earlier this month. It’s set to top the domestic chart (dated Jan. 4) for a third consecutive week.

“When it first came out, it was more of a gradual thing,” Carey previously told EW about the track’s success. “It was popular, but it didn’t have what it has now. I feel like people have grown up with the song and it’s become a part of people’s lives in terms of the way they celebrate the holidays. That makes me feel really proud as someone that loves Christmas so much.”

Last week ahead of Christmas, Carey dropped a star-studded music video for “All I Want For Christmas is You,” in celebration of the 25th anniversary of her Christmas album. The video features some of your favorite celebrities lip-syncing the song.

The undisputed Queen of Christmas also teamed up with Amazon Music to release a mini documentary titled “Mariah Carey Is Christmas: The Story of ‘All I Want for Christmas Is You,” which explores how the songstress crafted the classic holiday song.
